Festive Pomegranate Cookies

Leslie Cooks
This has grown to be one of my favorite cookies. Pomegranate is not a common ingredient yet it works so well for these cookies. They are buttery, tangy, and so very chewy.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 8 tbsp butter
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp butter extract
  • 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1 cup white chocolate chunks or chips
  • 1 cup pomegranate arils

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • To a large bowl, add the butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat until combined.
  • Add the egg, vanilla extract, and butter extract. Then beat until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a medium sized bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Mix until a thick smooth dough forms. Grab a spoon. Add the old fashioned oats and mix with spoon, until oats well combined.
  • Add in the pomegranate arils. Being very very gentle and by hand, mix in the arils being careful not to bruise them as they will turn batter pink if you are too rough. If you don’t feel comfortable stirring them into the batter, you can also form balls of dough in your hands and press 5-7 arils into each cookie by hand.
  • Chill dough for 5-10 mins. Scoop cookies 2 tablespoons at a time onto prepared cookie sheet.
  • Baking on 375°F for 10-12 mins or until golden brown.
  • Allow to cool on cookie sheet for 10mins before removing.
  • Enjoy!! 😊
